Cargill launches Portfolio Builder

Cargill has developed a new tool for marketing grain.

Product lead Ben Kuznia says Portfolio Builder is a unique contract that focuses on diversification.

“Some are calling it the first ever grain marketing mutual fund (and) some of our folks are calling it a 401k approach to grain marketing.”

He tells Brownfield when farmers enroll bushels through Portfolio Builder, the contract helps capitalize on diversifying across seasons, goals and market biases.

“What Portfolio does is take a mechanical (or) automated approach using four common risk management tools or strategies, and blends them together to form a more diversified approach to marketing your grain.”

Kuznia says Portfolio Builder compliments managed contracts like pro-pricing where Cargill uses its own internal market bias to help establish a futures price for the customer.

The dedicated signup window for Portfolio Builder is open until the first week of March.
